The ultimate work from home space; all surreptitiously set in downtoen Crystal Lake with access to all the conveniences of contemporary life, yet a world apart from the ordinary. Relish this masterful mosaic marrying the requisite modern amenities of today's discerning homeowner with the authentic ambiance of historical architecture.

Artful live-edge coffee counter open to adjacent to porch/conservatory/respite room. The main level living spaces are yours to define: home office, writer's nook, formal dining, gallery space, classic drawing room or parlor. Primary suite a true retreat with vaulted ceilings, skylights, sitting space, your own kitchenette. THIS IS WHERE IT GETS REALLY WILD. Fulfilling the fantasy of homestead living is yet another 1,800sf+ structure replete with delightfully idiosyncratic details: wood plank flooring, beamed ceilings, built-in bar and desks, wood-burning stove, whimsical workshop. Gigantic great room, full kitchen, full bath, second story loft/bedroom: abundant and inspirational space for whatever you can imagine: home-based business, yoga/artist studio, in-law suite, retreat center, escape room? Pretty and private parcel located with advantages of in-town benefits: award-winning Crystal Lake schools and library, abundant shopping and dining nearby, commuter conveniences, recreational options aplenty. Pioneer your personal lifestyle!
